BwB readers swell the housing scheme lists with their favourites

had mentioned Cammy Fraser, Derek Johnstone and new Dundee FC signing Charlie Adam coming from Fintry, but Bobby McKenzie was also keen to add Charlie’s dad to the Fintry list.

He then swelled it with Stephen Glass (Aberdeen, Newcastle, Watford,

Hibs, Dunfermline), Scott Robertson (Dundee, Dundee United, Hibs, Raith Rovers) and

Dundee United’s John Reilly.

A lady left a phone message saying she was George ‘Podge’ Falconer’s sister and insisted George, who turned out for Raith Rovers, Dundee, Montrose, Forfar Athletic and Elgin City, should be worthy of inclusion in any Fintry list – which I have now just done!

Also on social media, Jim Long then asked:

“What about the Douglas housing scheme?

He proclaimed: “We had the Bruce brothers. Alex played for Preston North End and Newcastle United, while his big brother Eddie had a spell in the 1960s with Chelsea. Then there is Leeds United’s Peter Lorimer, and Dundee United’s Ralph Milne.

Another Douglas resident Graeme Brough put forward Willie ‘Molly’ Brown, who had stints with St Johnstone, East Fife and others.

I could add several more to the Douglas list, as I have done in previous BwB articles, but other main ones coming out of Douglas were Brian Alderson (Coventry and West Brom), Frank Campbell (Grimsby Town) and Laurie Blyth, who, in the early 1950s, was perhaps bestknown as one of the few Catholics to have signed for Rangers at that time. n CONTINUING our look back at some of the old Sporting Queries, which were so popular in the Sporting Post.

SP Query – In April 1998, “Dave, Doc Ferry’s” asked: Which continental team holds the record for 10 league championships in a row?

SP Answer – Dynamo Berlin won the East German title 10 consecutive years from 1979 to 1988 inclusive.

MTK Budapest May also lay claim as they won the Hungarian League in 1914.

The league was then suspended for two years during the war before MTK won the next nine titles.

Right – This is a photo of a cup-winning St Joseph’s Primary Schools football team from 54 years ago in 1966, and was sent in by a reader who didn’t give a name or any other details. Back row (from left) – John Linehan, Martin McNaughton, Davie Grieve, possibly John Hornby, Jimmy Feeney, possibly Michael Hardy. Front row – Ged Brady, Jimmy McInally, Paul Giannandria, Eddie Lowden, Scott Brady, George Jackson, Stephen Cooney, Unknown. Get in touch if you can confirm the players and the name of the trophy.
